Krups BeerTender turned off after placing a new keg in it: Has anyone else run into this problem?

Ours just went out as well after inserting a new keg... had it since Dec of 2008 without any issues. I'm hoping someone has an answer for this problem as we can't figure out what went wrong!

Well, so far it seems you have received answers covering all of the bases. One consensus recommendation surely works: Push the off button. That being said and true, our machine lights blink left to right when the brewing cycle is finished, and the machine is in its off mode. Pushing the off button on our machine simply confirms all systems are off. Good luck.

Before connecting it to your Keurig did you try turning it on while connected to a water bottle and see if any water was being pumped? If you cannot get water coming out before it is connected to a brewer, then the unit is defective. Frankly I do not recommend this unit, they seem to have a very high defect/DOA rate. Try the FloJet BW4000 Bottled Water Dispensing System PLUS instead. It is a bit more expensive but it will work and last a long time.

To me it sounds like there is no problem with the faucet itself, but maybe the beer is over carbonated if you force carbonated your beer or your serving pressure may be too high. I'd try turning off the co2 and purging the keg, then reset the pressure from about 5-10 psi and go from there. If the beer ends up being over carbonated, I'd purge the pressure off again and let it sit without any pressure on it for a day or two and see if it mellows out any.

I had the same problem with my brewer - the menu cycled incessantly, and you had to press the button at exactly the right point in the cycling to get it to brew. It was under warranty. I called customer service and they sent a brand new one in 3 days. All they ask is that you send a part from the old machine that disables it. It took me about 5 minutes to make the call and get this matter resolved. Their customer service dept is excellent

Thanks, everyone. The Bunn which I used for several years and am now replacing would automatically turn off if I left it on too long.

I've never had this problem. I think you must have a defective brew station.

Make sure you have the grind feature turned off, no water in reservoir, and hit the "on" button. That'll turn it back on. I used to do this with my Krups coffeemaker all the time. It worked!

I actually wanted to know this myself, and I submitted this question to Krups. They wrote back and informed me that I would be unable to use a Heineken tap handle on the BeerTender. Needless to say, I was as bummed as I'm sure you will be. :-(

I purchased it about 3 weeks ago, took it out of the box, attached the spigot, ran some cleaner through it and used it immediately. I didn't notice any machine oil in the spigot so I would consider it resolved - at least on mine.

I put a standard handle on mine and all I got was foam. I called the help line and they were no help. I ended up have to return it but was out the shipping and the price of the full keg.

it stops brewing when the water is used up but it doesn't shut off--you have to turn off the switch.

Make sure that your screen shows brew on it. Did you remove the covering on the fitler stick which is located left side of tank?

I'm no sure, I just used plastic tubing and set the pressure of the keg to about 3-5 psi and it worked great!
